How the US and Ukraine Can Redefine Drone DeterrenceThe Ukrainian UAV sector’s baptism by fire will make it a strategic asset for NATO defense in the years to come. Although the Russia-Ukraine war is the most drone-intensive conflict of the twenty-first century, the implications of this reality have only recently spilled beyond its borders.

The emergence of the Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton represents a pivot in US and allied maritime operations from crewed patrol aircraft toward perpetual unmanned surveillance supported by artificial intelligence. Developed for the US Navy,...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 185 Visualizações 0 Anterior

What an African Warlord Can Teach Donald Trump About Skilled ImmigrationDonald Trump is not the first world leader trying to replace a skilled minority group with a politically favored majority. He will not be the first to fail. Shortly after the British Empire’s conquest of Uganda in the 1890s, the territory’s colonial administrators imported roughly 30,000 laborers from India in order to build a railway spanning the region. Though most of these...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 176 Visualizações 0 Anterior

Should the West Legitimize the “New Syria”?Ahmed al-Shara’s UN speech last week presented an idealized Syria far removed from the perilous reality. “The president is here,” a coordinator announced, rushing to the entrance of a lavish private club in midtown Manhattan, where an impatient crowd, restless after waiting more than an hour, buzzed with anticipation for Syria’s new interim leader. Outside, the streets...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 190 Visualizações 0 Anterior

Why the US and India Need a New Vocabulary of PartnershipWashington and New Delhi will only get along when both accept permanent ambiguity as a feature, not a bug, of the partnership. It has become a familiar refrain in recent strategic commentary that India risks squandering its moment by refusing to commit to the West. In this framing, articulated persuasively in a recent essay for Foreign Affairs by Dr. Ashley Tellis, India is...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 184 Visualizações 0 Anterior

5 Ways to Curb Iran’s Oil Exports to ChinaBetter enforcement of the re-imposed snapback sanctions on Iran could have a decisive effect on its oil exports to China.

A New, Transactional Era in US-India RelationsPresident Trump’s volte-face on India will not be reversed anytime soon, but that does not mean cooperation over matters of shared interest is a dead letter. President Donald Trump has ushered in a new era in US-India relations. Considerable time and effort will be required to move US-India relations away from this new transactional era and back to the path of partnership....0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 165 Visualizações 0 Anterior

Israel’s Strike on Qatar Is a Disaster for US Gulf InfluenceFor decades, America’s role in the Gulf rested as much on trust as on power—the belief that hosting US forces guaranteed protection of sovereignty. That belief has now been shaken. Israel’s strike on Hamas leaders in Doha came as a strategic shock to Hamas, to the United States, and to the Arab world. For Hamas, it may have eliminated senior figures who had taken...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 161 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Unexpected Connection 1. The Solo Commute: The protagonist is stuck in traffic, listening to a podcast about urban loneliness. They feel isolated, surrounded by a sea of cars, each person in their own world. The podcast's message hits a little toIt was the same every Tuesday. The slow, rhythmic crawl of the morning commute. Sarah drummed her fingers on the steering wheel, a habit she'd picked up to match the pace of the blinking turn signals ahead of her. She was listening to a podcast, "The Urban Echo," which was, ironically, all about loneliness in big cities. The host's voice, a smooth baritone, spoke of "individualized bubbles" and...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 182 Visualizações 0 Anterior

America’s “Missile Crisis”: Ukraine, Iran Wars Drain U.S. Reserves; Pentagon To Boost Patriot, THAAD, LR-ASM, PrSM ProductionTwo concurrent wars, with indirect US involvement, have exposed the sorry state of war preparedness within the Pentagon, which is alarmed at the depleting stocks of its missile arsenal. The Pentagon is worried that its depleting stockpiles are woefully inadequate for a potential intense war with China, given that just a 12-day war with Iran, a mid-level power reeling under decades of crippling...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 188 Visualizações 0 Anterior

What they don’t teach you about how classical liberalism was tied to empire and free trade exploitation.Classical liberalism, with its core tenets of individual liberty, limited government, and free markets, is often presented as a philosophy inherently opposed to state-led coercion and aggression. However, what's often left out is how these very principles were used to justify and facilitate the brutal realities of empire and economic exploitation. Liberal thinkers and politicians believed...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 183 Visualizações 0 Anterior

What they don’t teach you about how U.S. corporations shaped Latin American dictatorships for fruit and oil.What they often don't teach you is that the rise of many Latin American dictatorships in the 20th century was not just an internal political phenomenon. It was a direct consequence of a strategic alliance between powerful U.S. corporations and the U.S. government, which worked together to secure access to cheap resources like fruit and oil. This unholy alliance shaped the political...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 170 Visualizações 0 Anterior

Why is the U.S. still ahead in aerospace and defense technologies, while China is rapidly catching up with state-backed innovation?The U.S. remains ahead in aerospace and defense technologies due to a deeply entrenched ecosystem of private-sector innovation, a unique military-industrial complex, and a culture of high-risk, high-reward R&D. While China is rapidly catching up, its progress is largely a result of a state-led, top-down approach that leverages a massive industrial base and a "military-civil fusion"...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 163 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The United States, China, and Europe each have distinct approaches to military innovation, which leads to different areas of focus and varying degrees of success in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. The United States: Private Sector...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 174 Visualizações 0 Anterior

Why have many communist systems struggled with economic inefficiency and lack of innovation except China?Most traditional communist systems struggled with economic inefficiency and a lack of innovation because of their centrally planned economies and the absence of market-based incentives. China's path diverged from this historical pattern because it systematically and gradually introduced market reforms while maintaining political control. The general failures of traditional communist...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 164 Visualizações 0 Anterior

Can democracy, in practice, become a façade for elite control rather than true representation?Democracy can become a façade for elite control, where a small, powerful group holds the real influence even while maintaining the outward appearance of a government "by the people." This subversion of democratic ideals happens when political and economic power are concentrated in the hands of a few, which can then manipulate the democratic process to serve their own interests. The...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 161 Visualizações 0 Anterior

How is China leveraging cultural and educational soft power (Confucius Institutes, student exchanges, diaspora networks) inside the U.S.?China uses cultural and educational soft power to enhance its international image, promote its political agenda, and project influence within the U.S. This is achieved through three main avenues: Confucius Institutes, student exchanges, and diaspora networks. While some of these efforts appear benign, they're often viewed by U.S. policymakers and intelligence agencies as tools...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 158 Visualizações 0 Anterior
